How much your directory is actually worth if you are sellling it.

How much your directory is actually worth if you are sellling it.

I was just thinking of putting this thread to see how much people will value the directories..

But 1st of all would like the existing owners to help me value my directory, should I intend to sell it..

Its a PR4 PS3. Spent $600 on previous "reviews".. For a full list of backlinks, I can show you with my details on Google's webmaster's tools.

What is the value of my directory?

 

Global Internet Index has recieved a offer of 40000$ Last month end and i passed off because i was not interested to sell it.
I know couple directories which have very high sale value.

 

I would value a directory primarily on how much it is making per month. Then by a few other things, like it's age, brand, etc.
So for example, if you are making $500 per month you could probably sell it for at least $5,000.

 

Assuming that my directory makes nothing a month. And based on the PR and PS, and the alexa rank... for the traffic, the deeplink mod and all the existing backlinks.. How much do you reckon its worth...

Hi Amit, That is a cool price, but i think the long term value is more than that?

 

Geez... gimme some of that juice... its hard to say if offers like that are genunie though and you have to be ever so careful when selling to make sure you actually get the money...

I'd be interested to know what someone would offer for voisd as a PR6, with PR 4 blog and PR4 bid directory of directories.... theoretically of course (as im not looking to sell currently). At the end of the day theres no way of setting a standard, it basically comes down to what people are willing to pay... ever site is unique!

 

There is always a difference
Global Internet Index gets 2000-3000 uniques/day from google and has 200000+ Backlinks, Regular listing reviews, Articles in all the categories example - http://www.gii.in/Insurance/ check it and sub categories.
15 Content Rich blogs giving more rankings in the SERPS.
Ranks for top keywords like - Business Web Directory, Business Directory, Internet Web Directory, etc etc
Hope you know whats the difference.
Amit

 

As i was saying... wondering

 

Well i know that you have spent much $$ on gii.
But let me be frank .... everyone and thing has its price...
$40,000 and ill build another 3-4 at that price maybe
not perfects ones but they will easily compete with others
but to each his own as we are all different in our ways as
i luv my kids........ but not that much

It would seem the pride of india remains in india

thx

That's very nice Amit it just seems fair for the price of GII.

As you can see Seven Seek was purchased on the price of 5 figures. There are directories really worth the price.

Thanks

 

Here is a link to an auction where the owner sold very cheap http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/auction/8110, the site has two BIN bids in a matter of hours. I am guessing they could have got $6,500-$10,000 range pretty easily for this directory.

 

i wld value my directories at the potential profits (NOT revenue but revenue-cost) projected over 1yr as I think that is as far as most ppl are willing to pay.

 

A my mother always told me, worth is whatever someone is willing to pay. You might not be willing to spend anything on newly created PR0, low traffic directory that is using a free script and template. Someone else may be willing to spend thousands just for the domain name. Until you have interested buyers your directory is worthless. When you have interested buyers, your directory is worth exactly as much as the most motivated buyer is willing to spend. This is also the reason I don't like using bin's. If someone accepts your bin, they most likely were willing to spend more.

 

I was just about to type basically the same thing. It is like anything you sell if someone is willing to pay than it is worth just that much. I have some antiques that sit around my house and I have one that the book says is worth $3000 so I tried to sell it and the best offer I got was $300, this means that is really what it is worth.
If you are really interested in selling put it up for sell with the right to refuse if they don't meet your price. This is the best way to get an idea of the value.

Damn you much be loaded to turn down that much! Pride goes before a fall. LOL

 

I think everyone has made their point..

And no one has attempted to give my directory a price.. i think you guys just doesn't want to hurt my feelings, becos you will probably quote me a low price... thanks.. heheaheha...

Well... well..

 

actually, i agree only to a certain extent that the value of a thing is only what others are willing to pay. sometimes, ppl are just not farsighted or as knowledgable abt the thing u r selling as yourself. For example, u ask someone to buy YouTube when it first started for $1000, very few wld even be interested and may even say that you are being foolish.

But quite possibly, the starters saw something more and look what it is actually worth now?

So, the value of a thing is also dependent on the knowledge of the people you are selling it to. If you believe in the value of an object, and if you are right, you wld do well to be patient to wait for the right person to come along rather than accept that 'the value of the thing is what people is willing to pay at that moment'

 

Which does prove the point, if someone is willing to pay more than that is the true value. You can have a car worth $50,000 but if you can't find anyone willing to pay more than $10,000 and you want to sell it, that's is the current worth. If they buy and leave the area and find a new buyer willing to pay the $50,000 than that is the new worth. If you are willing to wait, the value may go up or it may go down. That is why a true value is only what someone is willing to pay at any given time.

But you never know as mentioned above theirs someone always willing to spend more then the next guy...

PS feeling go out the window when business is at hand...

hi, no harm having a friendly debate

i can totally see where you are coming from, and it makes sense, but just for arguments sake, if i have a brand new car and i asked a small kid (ok, don't fault me on a bad example ) by the road, do u want to buy this car? He may like it alot, but will perhaps offer u $5 (his WHOLE week's allowance, which is alot of money to him). Does that make the value of the car $5? I don't think so and I think u can see what I mean..... just cause u have not had a chance to ask the WHOLE WORLD how much they are willing to pay, does not mean that the value is only tied to what little information u have received at the point in time.....

 

$20000 or so for my directory Ruuz.com

The directory is good one for me. But I love my domain more then my directory on it. That is why I have stuck with it

 

Ok I love debates

It depends on if you want or need to sell. Before the Internet, your market was very limited and what might sell for thousands in New York City would not sell for half that in an area like mine in hillbilly heaven Northern New York. Of course the Internet is a double edge sword because it now gives a bigger market but you also have more competition to deal with. So if that kid was the only one willing to buy your car and no one else wanted it, then guess what, the car is only worth $5. Now you can hold on to it and wait for a better offer and then maybe it would be worth more but if you need to sell it now, that is all you are getting for it. Expand your market place and you can expand your value. If guru listed his directory in 100 different places on the net he may get a high price but if he needed to sell it now and listed it only in DP and was offered only $100 that is the value at the time, take it or leave it.
